Magical Thinking Nonsense From SJWs

HERE is another article by a well intended SJW, who nonetheless seems utterly ignorant about the topic of which he speaks.

The short of it is this:

Things like the Hermetic type of magic in World of Darkness games and D&D’s rote magic have never set my imagination on fire. Mind you, I don’t think they are bad, exactly. They just never rang ‘true’ for me. They never had that sense of verisimilitude that never has anything to do with reality, but rather how real something feels.
And magic in the hands of the already enfranchised never feels ‘real’ to me. Why would a guy like Harry Dresden need to search for another source of power, for instance? He’s a white, straight, good-looking dude. He’s 99 percent of the way there. Or Harry Potter for that matter? Or Dr. Strange? Yes, they have challenges. But in the context of the greater society, their challenges are ones that almost tailor-made for resolution within the existing power structure.

While WOD certainly takes it's liberties for the benefit of gamifying magic, it actually does base Hermetic magic in the game on historical Hermetic magical thinking.  And, oh-by-the-way, Hermetic magic never really had anything to do with SJ (silly fellow).

For that matter, it was merely a codification of the sort of looser magical thinking that every culture across the planet through history has practiced.  And, oh-by-the-way, that sort of magical thinking, while culturally detailed, was practiced and thought about by all sorts of people of every different color, race, and sex.  The wizard was on the margins, because they were weird and not entirely understood, not the other way round.  I will concede the possibility that in some cases, marginalized folk took up the practice, but it was undoubtedly for the same reasons that rich non-marginalized people in other times and places did: they had a lust for power that they did not possess.

There are no new sins, and humans across the board have them.  Every one of the seven deadly sins is held in the hearts of humans in both marginal and non-marginal social positions, and because we are sinful, we seek a way to "cheat" the universe in order to get what we can't otherwise.

This article is a load of crap.
